I'm trying not to overdo this week, but the stars aligned for a quick run with Susan this morning. After her morning meeting, we hooked up at the Edgewood trailhead on the Greenway for an "easy" run. I told her I didn' t want to go all that far or go all that fast and she said that was fine because she was still recovering from her week in Hawaii (conference and family trip). Must be rough, huh.
Anyway, we did a fair bit of chatting (which meant more walking) and ran one short hill near the turn around. A lot of my runs have been kind of sucky lately so I was pleasantly surprised that this one wasn't. I'm sure the company made it a lot more bearable, but I generally was feeling ok too. Even felt strong and fast on that uphill kick.
Got home and mapped it out. We did 4.13 miles. Yay! Will probably try to hit the pool with the kids being on Easter break and then maybe take a short run or an easy bike ride before making Friday a full on rest day before Saturday's duathlon. I'm getting excited to see what I can do (or du as the case may be).
Best of luck for Saturday! Rest up and kick ass!
